A new izakaya and sushi bar has opened its doors in the neighborhood. Located at 3211 Oak Lawn Ave. in Oak Lawn, the newcomer is called Izakaya RoMan.
This laid-back izakaya serves up Japanese fare, including sushi rolls, sashimi and yakitori skewers, as well as sake offerings.
The new arrival has gotten off to a mixed start thus far, with a 3.5-star rating out of three reviews on Yelp.
Katrina M., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on June 7, said, "I'm glad that there's finally an izakaya in the area to balance out all of the sushi and ramen restaurants. Definitely try the pork collar, beef tenderloin and ground chicken yakitori. Wasn't a huge fan of any of the sushi, although the salmon sashimi is decent enough to satisfy a craving. "
Yelper Brian D. added, "We were absolutely blown away by the quality of all the food items! The rolls were fantastic with fresh ingredients and perfectly cooked rice. The sashimi was the big test. Most places can get rolls right, but fail at the sashimi. Our fresh salmon was buttery and served at the perfect temperature.”
Head on over to check it out: Izakaya RoMan is open from 5–11 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Sunday and 5 p.m.–midnight on Thursday-Saturday.
